Plot[edit]
In the
LegoLego universe, within a city populated by anthropomorphic
minifigures, the evil
Lord Business finds a super-weapon called the
"Kragle". The wizard Vitruvius attempts to stop him but is blinded by
Business' robots. Before Business leaves with the weapon, Vitruvius
prophesies that a person called "The Special" will find the "Piece of
Resistance", a brick capable of stopping the Kragle.
Eight and a half years later, construction worker Emmet Brickowski
finds a woman, Lucy "Wyldstyle", searching for something at his
construction site after hours. When he investigates, Emmet falls into
a hole and finds the Piece of Resistance. Compelled to touch it, Emmet
experiences vivid visions and passes out. He awakens with the Piece of
Resistance attached to his back, in the custody of Good Cop/Bad Cop,
Lord Business' lieutenant.
Wyldstyle rescues Emmet, believing him to be the Special, and takes
him to meet Vitruvius in the Old West. Emmet learns that
Wyldstyle and
Vitruvius are "Master Builders",[8] people capable of building
anything from their imagination without the need of instructions, who
oppose Business.
Wyldstyle explains Business wants to use the Kragle (a tube of
Toagosei's US Brand Krazy Glue with a weathered label) to freeze the
world into perfection. Though disappointed to find Emmet is not a
Master Builder,
Wyldstyle and Vitruvius are convinced of his potential
when he recalls visions of a seemingly human deity referred to as "The
Man Upstairs".
Emmet,
Wyldstyle and Vitruvius evade Bad Cop's forces with the aid of
Batman, Wyldstyle's boyfriend. They go to the hidden Cloud Cuckoo
Land, a realm where mini-figures can create whatever they desire, to
attend a council of Master Builders, all of whom are unimpressed with
Emmet and refuse to fight Business. Bad Cop's forces attack, having
placed a tracking device on Emmet, and capture everyone except Emmet,
Wyldstyle, Batman, Vitruvius as well as two new members Princess
Unikitty and Benny the Spaceman. Escaping, Emmet devises a plan to
infiltrate Business' office tower and disarm the Kragle, but the group
is captured and imprisoned in the Think Tank, where all the Master
Builders are forced to make instructions. Trying to retaliate,
Vitruvius is decapitated by Business, who sets a self-destruct
protocol and leaves everyone to die, including Bad Cop.
As he dies, Vitruvius reveals he made up the prophecy. He soon
reappears to Emmet as a ghost and tells him that it's belief that
makes one become the Special. Strapped to the self-destruct
mechanism's battery, Emmet jumps into the abyss known as the "End of
the World" outside the tower and severs the connection, saving his
friends. Inspired by Emmet's sacrifice,
Wyldstyle rallies the Lego
people across the universe to use whatever creativity they have to
build machines and weapons to fight against Lord Business' forces.
Emmet finds himself in the human world as a
LegoLego mini-figure unable to
move. The events of the story are being played out by a little boy
named Finn on his father's expansive
LegoLego set in their basement. His
father, "The Man Upstairs", comes home from work and chastises his son
for ruining the set by creating variations of different playsets, and
proceeds to permanently rebuild and glue his perceived perfect
creations together (causing Lord Business' forces to regain the upper
hand as a result). Realizing the danger his friends are in, Emmet
wills himself to move and gains Finn's attention.
Finn returns Emmet and the Piece of Resistance to the set where Emmet
now possesses the powers of a Master Builder and confronts Business.
Meanwhile, Finn's father looks at his son's creations and realizes
that Finn had based the villainous Business on him and his
perfectionism. Through a speech Emmet gives Business, Finn tells his
father that he [i.e. his father] is special and has the power to
change everything.
They reconcile and start to unglue the constructions with mineral
spirits, which plays out as Business, having a change of heart,
capping the Kragle and ungluing his victims. Emmet is hailed as a
hero, and begins a romantic relationship with
Wyldstyle with Batman's
blessing, as they both break up kindly.
As a result of Finn's father allowing Finn's younger sister to join
them in playing with his
LegoLego sets, aliens from the planet
DuploDuplo beam
down on the
LegoLego world and announce their plans to destroy everyone
before the film ends in a cliffhanger.
Cast[edit]
Main article: List of The
LegoLego Movie characters

Creators of the film at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con International:
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, writers and directors; Chris McKay,
co-director; and Dan Lin, producer.

Dan LinDan Lin conceived of the idea for the film and began discussing it
with
Roy LeeRoy Lee before leaving
Warner Bros.Warner Bros. to form his own production
company, Lin Pictures, in 2008.[12] Meanwhile,
Warner Bros.Warner Bros. home
entertainment executive
Kevin Tsujihara had recognized the value of
the
LegoLego franchise by engineering the studio's purchase of
LegoLego video
game licensee
Traveller's TalesTraveller's Tales in 2007, thought the success of the
Lego-based video games indicated a Lego-based film was a good idea,
and reportedly "championed" the development of the film.[12][13] By
August 2009, Dan and Kevin Hageman were writing the script described
as "action adventure set in a
LegoLego world."[14] Cloudy with a Chance of
Meatballs directors
Phil Lord and Christopher MillerPhil Lord and Christopher Miller were in talks in
June 2010 to write and direct the film.[15]
Warner Bros.Warner Bros. green-lit the
film by November 2011, with a planned 2014 release date. The
Australian studio
Animal LogicAnimal Logic was contracted to provide the
animation, which was expected to comprise 80% of the film. By this
time Chris McKay, the director of Robot Chicken, had also joined Lord
and Miller to co-direct.[16] McKay explained that his role was to
supervise the production in Australia once Lord and Miller left to
work on 22 Jump Street.[17] In March 2012, Lord and Miller revealed
the film's working title, Lego: The Piece of Resistance, and a
storyline.[18] In April 2012,
Warner Bros.Warner Bros. scheduled the film for
release on February 28, 2014, a date that subsequently changed.[19]

"We wanted to make the film feel like the way you play, the way I
remember playing. We wanted to make it feel as epic and ambitious and
self-serious as a kid feels when they play with LEGO. We took
something you could claim is the most cynical cash grab in cinematic
history, basically a 90 minute LEGO commercial, and turned it into a
celebration of creativity, fun and invention, in the spirit of just
having a good time and how ridiculous it can look when you make things
up. And we had fun doing it.'"

—Animation supervisor Chris McKay[17]

By June 2012,
Chris PrattChris Pratt had been cast as the voice of Emmet, the
lead
LegoLego character, and
Will ArnettWill Arnett voicing
LegoLego Batman; the role of
LegoLegoSupermanSuperman was offered to Channing Tatum.[20] By August 2012,
Elizabeth BanksElizabeth Banks was hired to voice Lucy (later getting the alias
"Wyldstyle")[9] and
Morgan FreemanMorgan Freeman to voice Vitruvius, an old
mystic.[20][21] In October 2012,
Warner Bros.Warner Bros. shifted the release date
for the film, simply titled Lego, to February 7, 2014.[22] In November
2012, Alison Brie, Will Ferrell, Liam Neeson, and
Nick OffermanNick Offerman signed
on for roles. Brie voices Unikitty, a member of Emmet's team; Ferrell
voices the antagonist President/Lord Business; Neeson voices Bad
Cop/Good Cop and Offerman voices MetalBeard,[23] a pirate seeking
revenge on Business.[22]
In July 2012, a Lego-user contest announced on the film's Facebook
page would choose a winning
LegoLego vehicle to appear in the film.[24]
Miller's childhood Space Village playset is utilized in the film.[25]
The film is strongly inspired by the visual aesthetic and stylistics
of Brickfilms and received a great deal of praise in the respective
online communities who saw the film as appraising nod to their
work.[26] Many Brickfilm-Fans and AFOL’s (Adult Fans of Lego)
praised the painstaking amount detail in the production. Animal Logic
tried to make the film's animation replicate a stop motion film even
if everything was done through computer graphics, with the animation
rigs following the same articulation limits actual
LegoLego figures have.
The camera systems also tried to replicate live action cinematography,
including different lenses and a
SteadicamSteadicam simulator. The scenery was
projected through The
LegoLego Group's own
LegoLego Digital Designer, which as
CG supervisor Aidan Sarsfield detailed, "uses the official LEGO Brick
Library and effectively simulates the connectivity of each of the
bricks." The saved files were then converted to design and animate in
Maya and XSI. At times the minifigures were even placed under
microscopes to capture the seam lines, dirt and grime into the digital
textures.[27] Benny the spaceman was based on the line of
LegoLego space
sets sold in the 1980s, and his design includes the broken helmet chin
strap, a common defect of the space sets at that time.[28]
The film's total cost, including production, promotion and advertising
(P&A), was $100 million.[29] Half of the film's cost was financed
by Village Roadshow Pictures.[29] The rest was covered by Warner
Bros., with
RatPac-Dune EntertainmentRatPac-Dune Entertainment providing a smaller share as
part of its multi-year financing agreement with Warner Bros.[30]
Initially
Warner Bros.Warner Bros. turned down
Village Roadshow PicturesVillage Roadshow Pictures when it
asked to invest in the film.[29] However,
Warner Bros.Warner Bros. later changed
its mind, reportedly due to lack of confidence in the film, initially
offering
Village Roadshow PicturesVillage Roadshow Pictures the opportunity to finance 25% of
the film, and later, an additional 25%.[29]

Marketing[edit]
Over twenty
LegoLego sets inspired by scenes from the film were released
for the film including a set of Collectible Minifigures. A website was
opened up so fans could make minifigure versions of themselves, and
later, put that in the film's official trailer. The company recruited
a roster of global partners to a broad, multi-category licensing
program to support the film.[33][34] Official
LegoLego Brand Stores also
scheduled events. Each week of January 2014, a new character poster
(Wyldstyle, Batman, Emmet, Lord Business) came with every
purchase.[35] By building a creative model in-store, people received a
free accessory pack. Barnes & Noble hosted a themed event in
January, February, and March.[36] On February 7, 2014, McDonald's
released eight collectible holographic/3D cups in Happy Meals to
promote the film.[37] A video game based on the film, The

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]
The
LegoLego Movie was met with "nearly unanimous positive reviews."[42]
Review-aggregation website
Rotten TomatoesRotten Tomatoes reported a 96% approval
rating and an average rating of 8.2/10 based on 233 reviews. The
website's consensus reads, "Boasting beautiful animation, a charming
voice cast, laugh-a-minute gags, and a surprisingly thoughtful story,
The
LegoLego Movie is colorful fun for all ages."[5] On Metacritic, which
assigns a normalized rating out of 100 based on reviews from critics,
the film has a score of 83 (indicating "universal acclaim") based on
43 reviews.[43] According to
CinemaScoreCinemaScore polls conducted during the
opening weekend, the average grade moviegoers gave The
LegoLego Movie was
A on an A+ to F scale.[44] Filmmaker Edgar Wright, and TIME Magazine
film critic Richard Corliss, each named The
LegoLego Movie as one of their
favorite films of 2014.[45][46]
Michael Rechtshaffen of
The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Arriving at a
time when feature animation was looking and feeling mighty
anemic…The LEGO Movie shows 'em how it's done,"[47] with Peter
Debruge of Variety adding that Lord and Miller "irreverently
deconstruct the state of the modern blockbuster and deliver a smarter,
more satisfying experience in its place, emerging with a fresh
franchise for others to build upon."[48] Tom Huddleston of Time Out
said, "The script is witty, the satire surprisingly pointed, and the
animation tactile and imaginative."[49] Drew Hunt of the Chicago
Reader said the filmmakers "fill the script with delightfully absurd
one-liners and sharp pop culture references",[50] with
A. O. ScottA. O. Scott of
The New York TimesThe New York Times noting that, "Pop-culture jokes ricochet off the
heads of younger viewers to tickle the world-weary adults in the
audience, with just enough sentimental goo applied at the end to unite
the generations. Parents will dab their eyes while the kids roll
theirs."[51] Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News said the
filmmakers "don't sink into cynicism. Their computer animation
embraces the retro look and feel of the toys to both ingenious and
adorable effect."[52]
Claudia Puig of
USA TodayUSA Today called the film "a spirited romp through a
world that looks distinctively familiar, and yet freshly
inventive."[53] Liam Lacey of
The Globe and MailThe Globe and Mail asked, "Can a
feature-length toy commercial also work as a decent kids’ movie? The
bombast of the G.I. Joe and Transformers franchises might suggest no,
but after an uninspired year for animated movies, The
LegoLego Movie is a
3-D animated film that connects."[54] Joel Arnold of
NPRNPR acknowledged
that the film "may be one giant advertisement, but all the way to its
plastic-mat foundation, it's an earnest piece of work—a cash grab
with a heart."[55]
Peter TraversPeter Travers of
Rolling StoneRolling Stone called the film
"sassy enough to shoot well-aimed darts at corporate branding."[56]
Michael O'Sullivan of
The Washington PostThe Washington Post said that, "While clearly
filled with affection for—and marketing tie-ins to—the titular
product that's front and center, it's also something of a sharp
plastic brick flung in the eye of its corporate sponsor."[57]
On the negative side,
Kyle Smith of the
New York PostNew York Post called the film
"more exhausting than fun, too unsure of itself to stick with any
story thread for too long."[58] Moira MacDonald of The Seattle Times,
while generally positive, found "it falls apart a bit near the
end."[59] Alonso Duralde of
The WrapThe Wrap said the film "will doubtless
tickle young fans of the toys. It's just too bad that a movie that
encourages you to think for yourself doesn't follow its own
advice."[60]
Television personality, author, filmmaker, radio host and conservative
political commentator
Glenn BeckGlenn Beck praised the film for avoiding "the
double meanings and adult humor I just hate."[61]
Oscar host
Neil Patrick HarrisNeil Patrick Harris referenced The
LegoLego Movie not being
nominated Best Animated Feature, which many critics considered a major
snub, saying prior to the award's presentation "If you’re at the
Oscar party with the guys who directed 'The
LegoLego Movie,' now would be
a great time to distract them."[62]
U.S. Senator Ron Johnson criticized the film's anti-corporate message,
saying that it taught children that "government is good and business
is bad", citing the villain's name of Lord Business. "That's done for
a reason", Johnson told WisPolitics.com. "They're starting that
propaganda, and it's insidious". The comments were criticized by many,
and
Russ FeingoldRuss Feingold brought up the comments on the campaign trail during
his 2016 Senate bid against Johnson.[63]
Box office performance[edit]
The
LegoLego Movie grossed $257.8 million in the U.S. and Canada, and
$210.3 million internationally, for a worldwide total of $469.2

its second weekend by declining only 28% and grossing $49.8
million.[66] The
LegoLego Movie was number one again in its third weekend
while declining 37% and grossing $31.3 million.[67] In its fourth
weekend, the film dropped to number three grossing $20.8 million.[68]
Elsewhere, The
LegoLego Movie was released in 34 markets in February 7,

The popularity of the film led to a shortage of
LegoLego products by
September 2014.[71]
Accolades[edit]

The film's original score was composed by Mark Mothersbaugh, who had
previously worked with Lord and Miller on Cloudy with a Chance of
Meatballs and 21 Jump Street. The
LegoLego Movie soundtrack contains the
score as the majority of its tracks. Also included is the song
"Everything Is Awesome!!!" written by Shawn Patterson (El Tigre: The
Adventures of Manny Rivera and Robot Chicken), Joshua Bartholomew,[83]
and Lisa Harriton,[84] who also perform the song in the movie under
the name, Jo Li. The single, released on January 27, 2014, is
performed by
Tegan and SaraTegan and Sara featuring
The Lonely IslandThe Lonely Island (Andy Samberg,
Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone) who wrote the rap lyrics, and is
the first song played in the end credits of the movie. The soundtrack
was released on February 4, 2014 by WaterTower Music.[85]

Theme song[edit]
The film's theme song, "Everything is Awesome!!!", has been critically
praised and has undergone some close analysis. Eric Brown, writing in
the International Business Times, describes the song as a parody of
fascism, saying that the song "seems little more than an infectiously
catchy parody of watered-down radio pop, right down to the
faux-dubstep breakdown. There's a lot more happening under the
surface, however."[89] In an interview with Fox News, producer Mark
Mothersbaugh says the song "was supposed to be like mind control early
in the film. It's totally irritating, this kind of mindless mantra to
get people up and working."[90]
